Great job Skip! Brings back a lot of memories for me too. Always thought it was one of the coolest looking pattern planes out there. Looked like a B model P-51 without the belly scoop. Built a couple of them back in the day. Still remember carving out that top block! Ted was one of the first pattern guys to use retracts. Was always a thrill to watch Ted White fly it. Anyone know what ever happened to Ted? Thanks for sharing the photo with us.

Ted is still around and still lives in Bedford, TX. My understanding is that he flies very little, if any, these days, due to eye problems. A real shame. Ted and I used to fly together a lot. One of the finest demo and airshow pilots ever, but was a little hampered in pattern competition by his fierce independent streak and a desire to do his own thing his own way...
